Abstract
The introduction of structured settlements into the U.K. in 1989 has proven to be one of the most important reforms ever made to the law of damages for personal injury. It is now essential to consider the periodical payment of tort compensation in any case where serious injury is involved. This article considers both the advantages and the disadvantages of this new form of payment.
